New S.H.I.E.L.D. trailer

God I can’t wait for this to be available in the UK! My wishlist for this series is as follows: 1. We Need to see Nick Fury. At least once. Please! 2. That looks like Luke Cage in the trailer. …

Eurovision semi aftermath…

Last night’s Eurovision semi-final (part one) was actually very entertaining. Sweden put on a good show and, even though the presenter was pretty far on the wrong side of “odd”, we didn’t see much of her. The attention was firmly …

Let the Eurovision fun commence!

Tonight sees Eurovision semi-final number one (!!) live from Malmo. And I can’t wait. Getting dinner out of the way early, as I’ll need both hands for the volume of tweeting that will be done during the contest…and the voting. …

Eurovision 2013: France

Now this I like – a lot. France always do their own thing at Eurovision. Sometimes this works for them, sometimes it fails spectacularly. This year, I think it works. “L’Enfer Et Moi” by Amandine Bourgeouis is excellent and a …

Tempted…

Just when I thought I’d kicked the Filofax habit, they go and launch yet another personal organiser I’d like. The A5 Fusion I bought some weeks ago is still doing a great job. And paired with my iPad mini, it …

Moving on…

A quick update on the home moving situation…our offer was accepted on the apartment in Canary Wharf, though it took the seller and his solicitor an inordinate amount of time to get their affairs in order. For someone who was …
